Let Them Get Offended

I have become increasingly aware that sometimes the way I say things makes people uncomfortable or even offended. Let's get more specific, the way I talk about the Bible and about Christ makes people uncomfortable. I am aware that I speak firmly and passionately about the truths I find in the Bible. What's funny to me is that it doesn't make non Christians uncomfortable, but rather it makes Christians uncomfortable.

I understand that in 1 Corinthians 9:22, Paul talks about the importance of becoming all things to all people, but (please correct me if I am wrong) I am pretty sure he is speaking about non Christians in regards to the presentation of the Gospel. So I have concluded that this does not comply with the above predicament in which I often find myself.

So why are Christians so offended and uncomfortable with the way I talk about the Bible? Maybe people don't want to hear about what the Bible says about some things (i.e. service to the poor and advocacy for injustice) because they might be convicted and their lives might be drastically changed so they better fit the Biblical description of a follower of Christ.

Was it not God, himself, who said in Romans 3:15-16

"'I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth."'
(pretty offensive verse if I do say so myself)

So I guess all I can say (or think) when Christians are offended by the way I talk about the Bible is, "good!" Let them get offended, maybe it will make shake them up and make them think.
